Gunung Datuk 2013

Just to complete my 2013, I went to Gunung Datuk, Rembau, twice. Once with Juli and the second one with Abg Zul & gang. No familiar faces during the first trip though but the second trip I knew quite a number of people like Abg Anas, Ryna & Kak Ngah. The climb was excruciating due to lack of exercises and "disturbance", an never failed I complained why do I ever went for mount climbing. But when I finally reached on top, it was all forgotten and replaced by a very wonderful feeling that I have conquered the world. The view is simply breathtaking.

Here are some amazing pictures from the trips;

Life as a programmer: CDateTimeCtrl

Being a programmer gives me "joy". There are of course ups and down in coding.

I am rather new to MFC, specially with C++. Somehow my current manager take the risk to employ me regardless of my lack of C/C++  industrial experience. I was a Java developer before. Somehow he believed that I can cope up with the work.

Anyway, I was working with CDateTimeCtrl the other day, trying to make a living. So my boss said,

Mr D: "Ayu, you need to add enable & disable control over it, you know..."
Me: ".... really? So how should the from date & to date behave then? The function should work for both or one of them...?"
Mr D: "Both please."

So I was browsing around digging out some code (in order to maintain source code convention) see how is the correct way to do it. Its already evening before I finally knew how to show the checkbox in the CDateTimeCtrl. Such bloody DTS_SHOWNONE... it doesn't even give me a clue its related to a checkbox. I felt so miserably stupid. Urghhh! :bang_head:

For my own reference, please keep this link.

I'm stil struggling with the create new events UI aftermath. This is when you fix something and something else goes wrong. Please...please... let me sleep in peace tonight. Need to keep trying.

Like i said... Failure is when you stop trying...
